Plague over England


Plague over England, Duchess Theatre, 2009

Cast: Sam Heughan, Hugh Ross, Steve Hansell, Simon Dutton, Michael Brown, Celia Imrie, Michael Feast, David Burt, Leon Ockenden, John Warnaby,.

Writer: Nicholas de Jong
Director: Tamara Harvey

I thought I remembered this well but it turns out I just remembered it fondly. I'd completely forgotten that Celia Imrie was in it. I also misremember what theatre I saw it at, thinking it was the Finborough where it originated but obviously not. It wasn't very well attended and Wikipedia says it closed two weeks earlier. I though there was talk of a film but there was no mention of it. I wish I'd bought the play text for it. It would be interesting to see it again to compare it to The Motive & the Cue, which is also about Gielgud and which I loved.
